Hispanic Studies Students Teach Spanish at Clinton Elementary

By Holly Foster Posted March 5, 2014

Thirty-five Hamilton students are teaching Spanish to third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students at Clinton Elementary. The Hamilton students participated in a two-day training workshop before starting to volunteer in February. They volunteer in groups and work closely with the Clinton students to help them improve their language skills and gain an appreciation for foreign languages. Hispanic Studies Teaching Fellow Maria Gabriela Portal and Elisabeth MacColl ’16 run the program, which will continue throughout the semester.
